Anticipatory Guidance Pocket Card

Click to see larger image

This two-sided, laminated reference card fits in a large pocket
for handy use during a well child visit. It contains the same content
found here. The topics on the
pocket card are both developmentally appropriate and take advantage of
“teachable moments.” For example, at a newborn visit, the provider will
naturally discuss infant feeding. Exchanging mercury thermometers for safer
digital ones is another easy step that a provider can mention at an early visit.
These flexible guidance points provide clinicians with an age appropriate menu
of choices to discuss during routine visits.
